I purchased this one in a drugstore years ago. I had no idea about the notes or what it was supposed to smell like. I just saw the cute circus box and "Vanille" (obviously I didn't pay much attention in my French class since it says vanilla and apple. Haha) and thought it would be up my alley. It totally was! Make no mistake, this fragrance does not pretend to be a $300 perfume, however, it performs better than a usual cheapie. Upon first spray you get delicious apple followed by praline. To me, it reads more candy apple than caramel apple. On the dry down, you get a super sweet vanilla. I am a fan of sweet gourmands and this one is so good! This does smell synthetic, but in the best way possible. A sugary, candied vanilla apple. I do not pick up on the orange note at all. This lasts decently on me, about 7-8 hours. The sillage is definitely close to the skin. I agree with the reviewer that said this is a great "to bed" scent. You can enjoy the candy apple and fall asleep to the sweet vanilla and it will be gone in the morning. You can just add your day scent without having to worry about accidental layering. Great value for the price!
